A hog roast near Hardwick
How our wedding hog roast works in Hardwick
The carving station becomes a focal point: guests gather, the chef carves and the crackling disappears fast. It’s food and a bit of theatre. Whether it is weddings in a marquee and wedding breakfasts with sides, we will put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and new potatoes and more.
Near Hardwick, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, low and slow, for hours.

The process
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. Winter weddings in Hardwick are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Space, access and the venue
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- A way in for the roaster
- Light near the carving station after dark
